Life at the Keep changes forever when Fliss, Mole & Susanna arrive. Their parents have been killed in Africa. Under the watchful eye of their grandparents, their wounds heal and they embark on their journey towards adulthood.

Clarissa really falls in love with the house - a beautiful Tudor manor in the Welsh Marches - and marrying Thomas is simply the best way to get it. But life there isn't quite the idyll she expects. Thomas is so busy with the farm that he doesn't see the need for a social life, and his two elderly, eccentric aunts - though charming - aren't the most stimulating companions. When Evan appears on the scene, Clarissa is ripe for a little diversion. But...

Frances and Stephen are worried about their son, who wrongly blames himself for a fatal accident. Pippa, abandoned by her husband, moves in with her godfather's widow. When Max inherits some land on Dartmoor, he inspires them all to start over.
